Water Skiing Explains LUBRICATION - This CRAZY Engine Proves It!

There are 3 stages of lubrication - Full Film, Mixed and Boundary. Just like in water skiing, when the boat is not moving the skier is down in the water, which is the boundary condition. As the boat begins to move, the skier begins rise up out of the water, which is the mixed film condition. Once the boat is up to speed the skier is fully out of the water, which is hydrodynamic lubrication.

Why does this matter? Because piston rings operate in all three stages of lubrication on every single cycle, and the piston rings are the number one source of friction and wear in your engine.

In lubrication engineering, the Stribeck Curve indicates that friction and wear are higher in the boundary condition.

By rotating the liner, this genius engine design not only proves the stribeck is correct but it also massively reduces friction.
